If you’re in the mood for an exorcism, go ahead and book your tickets to see the 2025 movie The Ritual, coming to movie theaters this weekend.
Directed by David Midell, with a screenplay written by Midell and Enrico Natale, The Ritual stars Al Pacino and Dan Stevens as two opposing priests, Theophilus Riesinger and Joseph Steiger, who must put aside their differences in order to come together and save a demonically-possessed young woman named Emma Schmidt (played by Abigail Cowen). In fact, the movie is inspired by the “true” story of an alleged exorcism that took place in Earling, Iowa in 1928, performed by German-American priest Theophilus Riesinger.
Also starring Ashley Greene, Patrick Fabian, and Patricia Heaton, The Ritual will no doubt follow in the footsteps of the many religious horror movies that have come before it. The real question is: Can Al Pacino do a German accent? We can’t wait to find out.
